OT: Omer Asik asks Rockets to trade him......Let the rumors begin...

[magnifier661]

I actually could see Phoenix as a trading partner with Houston. Frye fits the mold to play along side Howard. I bet they could even grab another player of value as well. Phoenix wants to be relevant and asik's value dropped with the fiasco. It's not a bad deal for them to obtain frye and maybe one of Phoenix's first rounders for him.

With Len and Plumlee, I doubt PHX really wants Asik. Was trying to look at 3-4 way trades, though, because Frye to Houston, Asik to X, and X's prospects to PHX mkes sense. NY? Shumpert to PHX.

Do they want to be relevant this year? if they did why did they dump the Polish Hammer?

The writing was on the walls for them to tank, I think management even expected them to tank and they got a decent pick for him.

Regarding your last paragraph... I looked at the Blazers' last two box scores.

Against Boston, the team had 47 rebounds, Lopez 10.
Against Pheonix, the team had 51 rebounds, Lopez 15.

So it looks to me like if the C gets 5 more rebounds, the team gets 4 more total rebounds. That's adding 4 rebounds, not taking any away from the others.

Lopez helped his teammates by their rebounds decreasing from 37 to 36. Like, if I find $400 and rob you of $100, the Fed has put $400 into circulation, so you're better off.
